Woven Paracord Bracelet Contains Hidden Handcuff Key - Neatorama

Kevin Mitnick, a computer security consultant and convicted hacker, worries that he might be kidnapped while traveling through more dangerous parts of Latin America. So he casually wears a bracelet of woven paracord. Hidden in the clasp is a key designed to open most handcuff designs.

Seems to me... Aside from being stupid for announcing he wears it.... It is crazy dangerous for law enforcement! Seriously. If a motivated and dangerous criminal had this and it actually worked, that poor cop would be in danger. I know most people will think I'm overreacting but I'm married to a cop. It is dangerous enough out there.

A more obvious explanation about why he's telling his life : he's gonna sell 15$ bracelets that open nothing to every geek that will go to south america.

He could always try to AVOID travelling through the most dangerous parts of Latin America. Once you've removed the handcuffs you are still in a dangerous area AND you have angry people actively looking for you.

Kidnappers in Latin America won't use handcuffs.

Sharyn,

Fight until you can't fight anymore. And then fight some more. Just sitting there getting kidnapped in Latin America is a great way to get yourself, well... killed.
